HOW TO GET THERE

FLIGHT PLAN Air Transat of­fers flight and ho­tel op­tions for two- or three-stop stays in Croa­tia. I chose the three-stop op­tion (Zagreb, Split and Hvar) and found that I had enough time to seek out ad­ven­tures de­spite the mul­ti­ple trans­fers. WHEN TO GO July is con­sid­ered high sea­son; ex­pect crowds of bac­cha­nals wher­ever you ven­ture. A visit in late Au­gust will find the beach towns wind­ing down for the sea­son.
